  • Going Against the Flow: Sinn Féin´S Unusual Hungarian `Roots´
    The International History Review, 2015 Vol. 37, No. 1, 41–58, http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/07075332.2013.879913 Going Against the Flow: Sinn Fein’s Unusual Hungarian ‘Roots’ David G. Haglund* and Umut Korkut Can states as well as non-state political ‘actors’ learn from the history of cognate entities elsewhere in time and space, and if so how and when does this policy knowledge get ‘transferred’ across international borders? This article deals with this question, addressing a short-lived Hungarian ‘tutorial’ that, during the early twentieth century, certain policy elites in Ireland imagined might have great applicability to the political transformation of the Emerald Isle, in effect ushering in an era of political autonomy from the United Kingdom, and doing so via a ‘third way’ that skirted both the Scylla of parliamentary formulations aimed at securing ‘home rule’ for Ireland and the Charybdis of revolutionary violence. In the political agenda of Sinn Fein during its first decade of existence, Hungary loomed as a desirable political model for Ireland, with the party’s leading intellectual, Arthur Griffith, insisting that the means by which Hungary had achieved autonomy within the Hapsburg Empire in 1867 could also serve as the means for securing Ireland’s own autonomy in the first decades of the twentieth century. This article explores what policy initiatives Arthur Griffith thought he saw in the Hungarian experience that were worthy of being ‘transferred’ to the Irish situation. Keywords: Ireland; Hungary; Sinn Fein; home rule; Ausgleich of 1867; policy transfer; Arthur Griffith I. Introduction: the Hungarian tutorial To those who have followed the fortunes and misfortunes of Sinn Fein in recent dec- ades, it must seem the strangest of all pairings, our linking of a party associated now- adays mainly, if not exclusively, with the Northern Ireland question to a small country in the centre of Europe, Hungary.

    CULTURE Estella Solomons: A portrait of the artist as a Republican Painter concealed ammunition in her studio, writes Róisín Kennedy STELLA SOLOMONS came from a prominent Jewish Dublin family. Her E father, Maurice, was a well-known optician and his practice on Nassau Street is mentioned in James Joyce’s Ulysses. Solomons trained at the Dublin Metropolitan School of Art where Willie Pearse had also been a student. Her contemporary at the school, Beatrice Elvery remembered that ‘it was difficult not to be swept away in a flood of patriotism’. Solomons continued her studies at the Chelsea School of Art in London and at Colorossi’s Studio in Paris where she was accompanied by Elvery and Cissie Beckett, aunt of the future writer Samuel Beckett. A visit to a major exhibition of the work Estella Solomons’ portraits of Erskine Childers and Sinn Féin activist Darrell Figgis, and a self-portrait. of Rembrandt in Amsterdam in 1906 had a decisive impact on one of Seán Milroy, a frequent back in Limerick, discovered that in this endeavour by Kathleen her art practice.

  • In 1904, George Olden Became the New General Manager. Between 1906 and 1913, the Hotel Enjoyed Great Success
    In 1904, George Olden became the new General Manager. Between 1906 and 1913, the hotel enjoyed great success. New additions included the telephone and a lift. Guests started arriving by car and tram. The summer of 1912 saw a great influx of visitors from USA, Japan and Australia. In 1914 with the outbreak of war, several of the hotel’s German staff were interned and The Shelbourne unofficially became the hub of military activity. The Republican Rising of Easter 1916 was a seminal date in the Shelbourne’s history. The hotel owners remained loyal to the Crown during the Easter Rebellion. However, some staff members did not. It emerged later that one hotel porter made regular forays up to the rooftop and signalled the movement of troops within the hotel to the rebel forces across the Green. Yet, despite all the disturbances, the hotel management and staff managed to carry on almost as normal. On Easter Monday when fighting broke out on the Green, afternoon tea was transferred from the Drawing Room to the Writing and Reading Room at the rear of the hotel for safety (this room is now the Horseshoe Bar). On Tuesday afternoon, forty soldiers were sent to garrison the hotel, making it a legitimate target for the rebels across the Green. The Shelbourne came under regular fire for the remainder of the week. The windows were sandbagged and shuttered; the great entrance door was barricaded. A skeleton staff operated the hotel’s services and titled guests acted as waiters. By Wednesday, the hotel opened its doors to receive the injured, irrespective of the side on which side they fought.

Bulmer Hobson's formative influence in numerous political and cultural organisations begs the question as to why, until now, his autobiographical Ireland: yesterday and tomorrow (1968) remained the only consequential account of his career. Dr Hay expresses little surprise, however, at this historiographical gap. In fact, Hobson's position as 'worsted in the political game' (p. 1) serves as this book's premise.

Émilie Berthillot 1 After decades of riots throughout the 19th century,1 the Irish rebels fighting for Home Rule decided to foster a rebellion taking advantage of the involvement of Great Britain in the First World War. To fight against British forces, Irish activists were in desperate need of weapons whose importation was banned by the Proclamation of King George V issued on 4 December 1913 (Figgis, 2014, p. XXV). They thus turned to Germany to provide them with illegal ones.

AND IRISH FREEDOM A copy of this statement was sent. at Mr. Hobson's request to each of the following, and any comments received in the Bureau as a result are registered and filed, as. indicated hereunder: Relevant Name Rogister NO. Dr. P McCartan S.63 P.S, O'Hogarty S.49 D, McCuliough S,62 P. O'Rinin S,32 S. 0'Connor S.53 S. Fitzgihbon S.54 Captain R. Montcith S.50 PÁDRAIG PEARSE. After The formation of the Irish Volunteers in October, 1913, Pádraig Pearse was sworn in by me as a member of the I.R.B. in December of that year. I cannot recollect which Circle. The circumstances leading to this were as follows: Being in financial difficulties with his school, St. Enda's, Rathfarnham, and being afraid of bankruptcy, Pearse came to me in December 1913 with his problem. He had started his school on a promise of £500 which had never materialised. I arranged a lecture tour for him in the United States after correspondence with John Devoy, of the stare of NewYork Joe McGarrity, Judge Keogh of the Supreme Court, and, I think, John Quinn. When these arrangements were made, and in view of the fact that pearse would almost certainly have been brought in to the I.R.B. at a very early date, I swore him in before his departure for the States. Pearse went to the United States. I followed a fortnight later. Pearse was quite unaware of my intention to go there and was surprised when I turned up.

  • Sinn Féin and the Labour Movement Arthur Griffith and Sinn Féin Griffith
    3.0 Those who Set the Stage 3.3 Those with other agenda: Sinn Féin and the labour movement 3.3.1 Arthur Griffith and Sinn Féin Griffith and Sinn Féin contributed directly to the Rising by his brilliant propaganda and by radicalising a generation of Irish nationalists. Arthur Griffith (1871-1922) was born at 61 Upper Dominick Street, Dublin and was educated at the Christian Brothers’ schools at Strand Street and St Mary’s Place. He worked as a printer at the Irish Independent, spending much of his spare time in debating societies where he came under the influence of the journalist and poet William Rooney. In 1893 they founded the Celtic Literary Society which promoted the study of Irish language, literature, history and music, its political slogan being ‘independent action’. Griffith was also active in the Gaelic League in which Rooney was a teacher. He was a member of the separatist Irish Republican Brotherhood up until 1910, after which time he generally repudiated the use of physical force for political ends. Following a period in South Africa where he worked in the gold mines and gave some assistance to the Boers, he became editor of the new weekly radical paper, the United Irishman, first published in Dublin in March 1899. In 1900, together with Rooney he established Cumann na nGaedheal, an umbrella body designed to co-ordinate the activities of the various groups endeavouring to counteract the continuing anglicisation of the country. After the failure of the Home Rule bills of 1886 and 1893, Griffith had little faith in the current mode of parliamentary action.
